VoIP Myths

There are a number of myths about VoIP systems and calls.


You must get new phone numbers
WRONG, you can utilise your existing company numbers, direct dials etc. OCM can port your numbers across.

You cannot have your company number displayed to people you call
WRONG, you can have any number you desire displayed on outgoing calls.

You can only call other VoIP users
WRONG, you can call any land line or mobile anywhere in the world.

VoIP call quality is poor
WRONG, the sound quality of a VoiP call is at least as good as traditional phone lines and normally is better.

VoIP systems are unreliable
WRONG, all our systems are designed with inherent fault tolerance and are more robust and reliable than traditional proprietary systems.

If your internet fails you cannot make or receive calls 
WRONG, OCM can configure your system to fail over to traditional phone lines and/or mobiles in the event of a problem. In addition, multiple internet connections/providers can be supported.

VoIP is not widely adopted
WRONG, BT currently estimates that 50% of small to medium business already use VoIP.
